"It'll take a few Vodka & Tonics to set you on your feet again." I decided to use THIS vodka to test this hypothesis. It turned out to be the one, right tool. It's got a full mouth feel, with minimal burn, and the wheat flavor isn't completely distilled away. It's prefect with Tonic, as it enhances the bittersweet taste. It's the perfect tipple for those who like things deep and complex.35.0 USD per Bottle

It has a 'true' aroma for Cognac, that of quality grapes. And although it lacks some depth (I'm not picking up much vanilla, or barrel spices) its taste is so smooth, I'm considering drinking it straight or on the rocks, and leaving the Ciroc VS for mixing. After all, that's what Ciroc tells you it's made for, anyway.25.0 USD per Bottle

Shackleton Blended Malt
Blended Malt — highlands, Scotland
Reviewed August 18, 2020 (edited October 18, 2021)Your score is much too low for this dram. I don't know too much about depth, when it comes to a Scotch. I only know what tastes good to me. And on the first sip, I got less 'pears and apples,' and more of the kind of aroma and flavour you get when making low-heated 'Grape Nuts' cereal with a dash of pure vanilla extract; just a dash. In other words, it's like a liquid version of a hearty breakfast cereal. And I likewise savor it! That rates a lot higher than a '79.'35.0 USD per Bottle -
Johnnie Walker Gold Label 18 Year
Blended — Scotland
Reviewed July 29, 2020 (edited October 18, 2021)I soon began to see myself as very lucky. I was able to find a 200 ml travel size version of the Centenary Blend. On the nose, the aromas of well-aged Barley Malt, Oak, honey, and peat smoke stand in solidarity. So it is on the palate. One word comes to mind as I drink this 2 oz of heaven: BURNISHED. This nectar has been distilled, and blended, to perfection. It needs nothing else, no water, no 'twist' of lemon or lime; only my time and appreciation for craftmanship.22.0 USD per Bottle -
I agree with the 'official' review, that its spiciness 'kicks up a notch.' It was unexpected, but gave me a clue that this would work well on the rocks. It is somewhat reminiscent of a better developed Red Walker, only with more body since it's a Blended Malt, and no peat influence.45.0 USD per Bottle

It's a very good, very 'sippable,' and very Highball-able Whisky that's enjoyable when it's used as prescribed by Suntory themselves. It's not versatile, like a JWR, but it's not made to be so. A little ice, in Half-Rock style, or the aforementioned Highball, and you have the perfect evening......or Breakfast!29.0 USD per Bottle

It's not rich, not too spicy, and not full-bodied. It's thin, on the sweet side, and lacks a big bite. Even the finish didn't have any kick. In other words, it's a good light sipper, a whisky that would go well with dessert, or after dinner. I'm not sure, but I think that was the plan from the beginning.30.0 USD per Bottle

I've been drinking 'The Satisfying Drink' since I was 'conned' into buying a bottle. That was back in '97, by a guy who wanted to sell off the last two bottles he had. Since then, the bottle's changed twice. THE TASTE HAS NEVER CHANGED. So, like 'Drinking With Josh' discovered back in 2014, there's no reason for me to buy Drambuie 15 Year.36.0 USD per Bottle

There is, quite simply, NO better Vodka with which you can make Vodka Martinis, Vodka Gimlets, or any fruity mixed drinks. This has everything to do with Cîroc being an eau de vie. It still retains some of its grape aroma and flavor. I wish it was being made back when I was obsessed with Grappa!35.0 USD per Bottle
